Beginning on No. 10 tee, Whee Kim smoothed a bogey-free 7-under-par 34-31=65 in today's third round of the Sanderson Farms Championship to reach the three-quarter pole on 9-under 207, up 54 places to T14 and tying the low round of the day with Luke List and Chris Kirk.

After missing the cut in his first two tries at the CC of Jackson in 2015 and 2016, the Web.com Tour grad was one (of nine) to make the cut on the number after opening in twin 71s. He landed eight (of 14) fairways and just 11 greens in regulation, but circled five birdies and a 22'5" eagle at the par-5 14th for a tidy 1.467 putts per GIR and 3.527 SG: Putting. The 24-year-old arrived off a T13 at the Safeway Open and will begin the final round five adrift of 54-hole co-leaders List and Kirk. Oct 29 - 6:04 PM

With preferred lies in effect, Whee Kim fashioned a bogey-free 6-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the Safeway Open to post 10-under 206, up 27 spots to T9 with play still in progress.

The 24-year-old is making his third appearance after missing the cut in each of the last two editions. He began the third round on 4-under (T36) after kicking off in 69-71. Beginning off No. 10 tee, the Web.com Tour grad landed nine (of 14) fairways and hit 15 greens in regulation, posting 1.600 putts per GIR and 3.037 strokes gained: putting. He circled holes 14, 16, 18, 1, 3 and 5, with four dropping from between 12 and 20 feet. Oct 15 - 8:25 PM

Whee Kim bombarded the Scarlet Course at The Ohio State University Golf Club en route to a 6-under-par 34-31=65 during round one of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, staking the early clubhouse lead as the afternoon wave gets underway.

Kim entered the week ranked 35th in The Finals 25 after T39 and T31 finishes to open the Web.com Tour Finals. Today, he took 30 swipes with the flat stick so his putter certainly wasn't doing the scoring. It was great ball-striking as he splashed all 18 greens in regulation to set up ample birdie chances. Kim converted on seven of them, while swallowing just one bogey along the way, a three-jack at the par-3 fifth. After finishing 127th on the FedExCup leaderboard and 131st on the money list, the 24-year-old would love to keep his foot on the gas this week and make his way back to the PGA TOUR for the 2016-17 season.

Whee Kim authored a bogey-free 4-under-par 33-34=67 in the final round of the John Deere Classic for a 72-hole total of 17-under 267, up two places into a two-way T3, five back of champion Ryan Moore.

In his 49th career event, the second-year man matches a career-best T3 at last year's Barbasol. It's his second top 10 of the season in 26 starts, first since T6 at the RBC Heritage. The South Korean was T23 thru 36 holes after opening his second Deere (MC/2015) in 69-67, but vaulted to T5 after 54 holes with a career-tying-low 64 (2015 Zurich Classic/R4). Playing out of the third-to-last twosome, he landed 10 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens in regulation, ending the week T1 in GIR at 83.33 percent (60/72). Kim circled birdies on Nos. 6, 8, 10 and 17, and played his final 48 holes in bogey-free 14-under. Aug 14 - 6:51 PM
